Forget Augmented Reality. What About Diminished Reality?
Feb 12, 6:20PM
Technology Review ran an article this past week about a new app called PlaceAvoider that is being developed by computer scientists working at Indiana University.

The app flags such images for manual review before they are passed on to associated apps, such as photo storage or sharing. The idea, say PlaceAvoider's creators, is to both help device owners protect their own privacy and thwart visual malware, such as trojans that may be looking for precisely this material.
